See the “HOW TO USE” section for details on what this is! Ok, so I’m really, really, really REALLY behind on stuff lately.

 It’s summertime!!! Well, maybe not. But it’s hot. It’s hot where I am and, more than likely, hot where you are too (if my weatherman is honest at all). Raise your hand if you’ve already started buying sugar free popsicles in bulk from Costco for your deep freezer. Yeah, I thought so. Those things are a delicious and low-cal …

Before we get to the above, let’s talk about love, shall we? Love is…being at critical mass of dessert in your fridge (when you’re not a particularly big dessert person) and making yet another dessert because that dessert is needed. That is love my friends.

This is a true story of how one little sugar-free caramel pudding cup became a very big deal in my life. I’ll try to be brief.

(Side note for our newer readers: if you haven’t had my Better Than Sex dessert, that one is a must taste!)  S’anyway! A couple weeks ago, I …

~~posted by Jen Fall is the perfect time to roasting vegetables and Butternut squash is a fall favorite! It is colorful, it cooks up soft, and the flavor is mild, which means we can play with our food and customize the taste! Cut up and ready to be roasted! If I plan to have this soup on a week night, I’ll …

Hey peeps! How’s it cookin’ so far for Soup Week? Did any of you try Jen’s Practically Famous Chili yesterday? It’s good isn’t it? Later on this week I’ll show you my interpretation of chili, but first we’ve got a whole bunch of other kinds of soup to talk about! Before we talk about this split pea and ham soup, though, …

~by Nikki Ok, so the weather has dipped into the 70’s…the 60’s even for a few days. Which, technically, is a sign of climate change which probably means we’re all doomed. But after a long, hot summer…forgive me environmentalists…I am glad for the cooler weather. It has me thinking about things I haven’t thought about since…March at least. Baking. And …

~~posted by Jen OK, we know it’s not even Labor Day yet, but Summer is winding down and we’ve been thinking about Fall.  Of course, we had to poll our friends and see what Fall recipes you are most looking forward to!  Debby B, one of our FaceBook fans, responded to the Poucher Poll today and asked about Pumpkin in …
